FESTIVAL VETERANS TRY BOOMTOWN FOR THE FIRST TIME (2022) GENERAL ADMISSION

People really need to appreciate the strength it must have took to be walking around and engaging with the festival in the day, I was there and it was simply too hot so fair play lads. Spent most of my time listening to the music (EDM fan) so it was nice to see the festival from a completely new lens with all the side missions you completed makes me feel like I missed out haha. Glad you guys enjoyed it though it proves that boomtown is really for everyone

Y’all should do an end of season long video. Rank all your festivals from this year and include the total cost of everyone as well, if possible!

[@thomashenness4744]

Boomtown is next to none, been 6 years now and it’s gets better and better ! It’s so interactive with the crowd which makes It like no other ! You boys killed it and was awesome to see you having it to a different vibe to your usual vids ! ( the EDM your referring to is widely drum&bass and jungle, boomtown started off as free party festival) you killed it in the heat and dust lads 👏🏽 it was tough out there !

[@sbg2005]

Pure lols, these cunts don't have a clue about the free party scene...kind of annoying patronising knobs tbh

[@sbg2005]

Sort of cunts that complain about a party at 1am and ruin everyones vibe just because it not the music they like...I do feel sorry for cunts like this though that have never felt that tribal escape....

[@benyoung1224]

Don’t get better and better for me I went a few years ago and went last year and I thought it was the worst festival of the year a complete rip off and I won’t be going back again

[@benyoung1224]

And it’s not interactive with the crowd compared to other festivals it’s super generic they hype it up as some special experience but I’ve had much better immersive storylines nearly everywhere else I’ve been for a 1/4 the price with better music

I've been going to Boomtown for 7 years and nothing compares to it. Also to other people thinking of going it's not all EDM although I don't mind it I hardly go see any, there is loads of punk, rock, ska, reggae, folk, hip hop

If you ever go boomtown, sounds like scrapyard is ur stage! Tonnes of hardcore, hard trance etc. Unreal

[@kohhna]

Yeah, there's like a couple of stages that are straight up Bangface music, and there's also usually a load of other class stuff on as well if you want to engage (lots of good punk, reggae and other random stuff).

Boomtown looks basically like a whole festival of the afterhours parts of Glastonbury! Great video, far too intense for me these days, can't do the mad druggy dance ones anymore, too old for doing that now! Love that fact your slowly turning into ravers as well, it's about time!

[@jpshanuson7192]

Bang on. Old sucks. The parties in Miami were like no other.

[@kohhna]

You don't have to go too hard at Boomtown though. If I ever get back to it I'll probably be spending most of the time chilling, enjoying the Reggae, folk and other live music, spoken word stuff and the pagentry of the festival, with maybe a wee boogie in The Scrapyard for old Times Sake one of the nights.

[@pollonpollonate9021]

Great to meet you and glad the robust bubbles made the cut!

[@oliverrobert6410]

1) the heat and dust was too much for me, proper struggled to go down to the city in the day and spent most of the day light by the tent chilling out and not moving so hats off to them 😂 2) I’m a heavy drum and bass fan and that’s all my group really did so watching this video made me feel like I’d id not even done 1/4th of the festival 😭 2023 is going to be mental and I’ve already been thinking about 2023 boomtown everyday ( after I recovered from boomtown lung obviously) immaculate vibes and was amazing to see nobody acting up and every single person just enjoying their time 😊 boomtown has my whole heart

This Boomtown was my first ever year finishing the storyline! We managed to complete it literally an hour before it ended on the Sunday and it was absolute elation was so good. It's a big task to get it done but if anyone is wanting to go I totally reccomend getting involved with the story it's so fun even when I havent completed it in the past it adds sm to the festival

[@hannahxoxox5948]

How much time did you spend each day being involved in the story? I wanna involve my self in the story and I don’t know if that means missing out on a lot of the music.

I get it, if you're not into dance music (I'm old school and refuse to call it EDM) it can all sound the same. But don't write it off until you've seen a proper set, not some random DJ set like the wank Steve Aoki etc churn out. Go and see Fatboy Slim. It will blow you away. You've already seen what the Chems are all about. The Prodigy, Orbital or Underworld all worth seeing, absolutely mental live. Honestly, it'll be another level to what you've seen so far.
